Spread your Wings and Fly

I've made another butterfly card.  This one is made with a large Uniko stamp that was part of an old Papercraft Society box and I've used the colours from the current AAA Cards colour challenge.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     Papercraft Society 'Box 51 Uniko' stamps and coordinating die
     Versafine Smoky Grey ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - BV02, RV02, V 12 & YR00
     Snippet of white matt card

I used grey ink to stamp the large butterfly onto a snippet of white matt card before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  The butterfly was then cut with the coordinating die before being coloured with four Copics to match the challenge colours.  I placed the card blank into my MISTI and put the butterfly onto it so I could see where to stamp the sentiment.  I removed the butterfly and stamped the sentiment with grey ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  To finish I attached the butterfly along its body and shaped the wings.

I am entering the following challenges:

The colours look so pretty and you have reproduced the colour palette of the challenge so well with this beautiful butterfly Kath, and the chosen sentiment complements it perfectly. x
